Ibleam: Manassite city in northern Israel
A city allocated to Manasseh in the Jezreel valley region, though located within Issachar's or Asher's territory. Ibleam appears in conquest accounts where Israel failed to drive out the Canaanite inhabitants. It also marks the location where King Ahaziah of Judah was mortally wounded while fleeing from Jehu. The city corresponds to Bileam in Chronicles' parallel list of Levitical cities. Its strategic location in the valley made it significant for controlling travel routes. The name's etymology remains uncertain, though it appears in Egyptian records from the second millennium BC.
